I graduated high school in 1975 and recently connected with former classmates on Facebook, and that’s when I learned about our 40th reunion planned for this Fall, back in Minnesota. First off I helped setup a group on Facebook for our reunion, then I set about to create a web site based on some requirements from the volunteers organizing the reunion. I decided to used the Free version of WordPress and selected an appropriate web name of https://slp1975.wordpress.com/ where SLP stands for: St. Louis Park.
Some of the features of the reunion site are:
The RSVP page uses a contact form built with the JetPack form builder:
Our Contact page is similar to the RSVP page in that both use the JetPack form builder:
Our theme choice is called Chateau, and it has a very simple set of options:
Six widgets fill out the right sidebar:
The Home page and Blog pages are defined in WordPress at: Settings> Reading
Well, there you have it, in just a few hours I’ve built up a reunion web site for my 40th reunion, making the site attractive, functional and free (except for my time).
